Bindi would have been 15 years old at the time, the same year she and her now husband began dating.
“Then and now … It’s been 10 awesome years that you’ve been part of our family, Chandler — Happy birthday mate!” Irwin said.
The “now” photo shows Robert with Chandler proudly standing beside Grace, his two-year-old daughter with Bindi.
Bindi was quick to respond, writing it “makes me so happy”.
“This is amazing! Thank you so much @robertirwinphotography 🙌 Can’t wait for the next decade!” Chandler said.
Grant Denyer was among those to comment, writing: “Geez this is a bit cute 😍.”
“I will tell my children this is the royal family of Australia,” one fan said.
Meanwhile, others pointed out Chandler’s change in hairstyle over the years.
“Chandler’s hair evolution though,” one person wrote.
“10 years is a long time. Thank goodness Chandler and Robert have found new hairdressers 😂😂😄,” another said.
“But 10 years ago, neither one of those haircuts were in style. I feel like this is 1991,” another said.
“Chandler’s hair is WILD,” someone else added.
Chandler celebrated his 27th birthday at Australia Zoo surrounded by Bindi, Grace, Robert and his girlfriend Rorie Buckey and Terri Irwin.
Bindi shared a photo of the family celebrating in front of a three-tier green and cream cake.
“Celebrating @chandlerpowell is one of my favourite things in the world. ♥️ Happy Birthday, sweetheart,” Bindi captioned the post on Tuesday.
The birthday comes days after the family was dressed to the nines, celebrating the 2023 Steve Irwin Gala in Brisbane.
More than 900 guests attended to raise funds for Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.
Bindi accessorised her black and floral outfit with one of her go-to jewellery pieces for a special occasion — a pendant with a photo of her late dad Steve Irwin.
